I Love You

I love you. I’m leaving. Good-bye

The little things I used to love are driving me insane.
Sometimes I want to sit right down and cry.
The only thing I know for sure is what I feel for you.
I love you. I’m leaving. Good-bye.

You tell me that you love me while you’re pulling off my wings
When the only thing I want to do is fly.
And I put out your campfires and rain on your parades,
And tell you that I’ll be with you til I die.

Now I know that you love me and Hell, I love you too,
But don’t you think we’ve given it a try?
It’s so damned hard to find a way
To say the things I have to say
I love you. I’m leaving. Good-bye.

I loved you just the way you are, if only you would change.
Then you would be the apple of my eye.
I know there’s plenty wrong with me, I’m just that kind of guy.
I love you. I’m leaving. Good-bye.

I love you. I’m leaving. It sets my heart to grieving.
But don’t you think we’ve given it a try?
It’s so damned hard to find a way
To say the things I have to say
I love you. I’m leaving. Good-bye.
